You posted two links to the same snippet!  :)  Fortunately, it was the
one that was misbehaving, so I could see what was going on.

If you remove the line that adds Volta_engraver to ChordNames, you'll
get the output you were expecting.  So the snippet should look like
this:

\new ChordNames \with {
  \override BarLine #'bar-size = #4
  voltaOnThisStaff = ##t
  \consists Bar_engraver
}
\chordmode {
  \repeat volta 2 {
    f1:maj7 f:7 bes:7
    c:maj7
  } \alternative {
    es e
  }
}


In general, I would recommend directing questions like this to the
-user list (address@hidden), unless you are confident that
you've found a bug in LilyPond.

Thanks,
Patrick
